"Damien was surprised, He hadn't thought about that, He was too busy worrying about her and taking care of her to the point he forgot about that.

But when he thought about it now after she asked him he discovered that he doesn't care.

​​

"Would you believe that I don't have a preference? I will love them no matter what their genders are as long as you are their mother." Damien replied honestly, Meaning every word he said.

Ina smiled and nodded her head.

"I believe you." She replied feeling the urge to cry but she tried to push it away.

She wouldn't be lying if she said that she is the luckiest woman on earth.

...

Oliver looked at the pictures that he just received, He smiled as he traced the girl face in the picture lovingly, She was different from all the victims that he kidnapped and a hard one to catch, She grows up to be a beautiful lady that he became obsessed with her, He envied his nephew for having her all to himself.

Oliver continued to look at the pictures one after one, He noticed that Damien is with her almost all the time and if he isn't with her, He make sure that she was escorted by the bodyguards, He knew that he will try to kidnapped her again so he is keeping a close eye on her and the people around her.

This will make things difficult for him, But he just have to wait for the moment that they make a mistake and leave her unguarded or he might have to plan for this to happen, Because even if this girl is going to cost him his life he will have, Because in the end she is like his wife a traitor and it's a matter of time before she does just like his wife did.

...

At the summer house, Two days later.

It was supposed to be a fun time for the couple but everything didn't go as they planned for it, Yesterday Ina became sick again and couldn't leave the bed, The nausea and vomiting started all over again, She had thought that she had passed this phase but it turned out that a triplets pregnancy is different from a singleton one, Every pregnancy symptoms are just more intense and added with her disease symptoms it made everything worse.

Ina was laying on the couch and watched as Damien moved around the small summer house doing some cleaning, She had told that they should go back since they can't enjoy their time but he refused and said that he doesn't care and just want to be alone with her even if she is sick, She remembered his words and it made her smile.

"I don't care, Plus, we decided to start a family so I shouldn't be complaining." Damien spoke to her in a loving tone that made her eyes water.

"You're making me fall for you even more." Ina said as she wiped the corner of her eyes.

Damien smiled mischievously at her and said.

"Well, That's the plan, Maybe in future I no longer have money and I might lose my handsomeness, So I need to make sure that you won't leave." Damien joked and she smiled.

He was relieved to see her smile, Ina rarely smiles lately, He was aware that she was feeling guilty and ashamed of herself and no matter how many times he told her that he doesn't care about her sickness she doesn't listen to him.

Damien kissed the space between her eyes before he pulled away and placed his forehead on hers as he interlaced their hands together.

Ina sighed remembering that touching moment, She needs to find a way to stop her mind from thinking about bad things, It added more to her exhaustion.

Ina phone rang and she picked up from the table, Seeing the ID of the caller she smiled.

"Mia," Ina replied happily that her friend called her.

"Ina, How are you? I missed you so much." Mis cheerful voice could be heard loud and clear from the phone speaker.

Damien looked at Ina and smiled leaving the room to give her some space to talk with her friend.

"I'm doing good, How is Kevin? I haven't heard from him in a long time." Ina replied, trying to sound normal, not wanting her friend to notice anything.

"Glad to hear that, Kevin is busy with his girlfriend, The girl had him swapped off his feet, But we are going back this week, So you are going to see and scold him as much as you want." Mia replied.

Hearing this Ina was excited.

"That's great news, I can't wait to see you both." Ina replied and pressed her lips together tightly as another wave of nausea hit her.

Mia noticed that Ina's voice seemed tired.

"Ina, Are you sick?" She asked and didn't receive an answer immediately.

"Yes, I have a cold." Ina breathed holding the urge to vomit.

She had to lay to her friend.

"Oh, Hope you feel better soon, I will leave you to rest for now." Mia said.

Ina hung up the phone and tried to take a deep breath. Maybe it will work and she won't end up vomiting all over the place.

"Damien." Ina called him, wanting him to help her get to the bathroom.

Damien entered the room and rushed towards her when saw her clutching her stomach and her face was extremely pale.

He bent down to pick her in his arms but unfortunately, he was late as Ina couldn't hold in anymore and ended up throwing up on him during his clothes.

Ina glanced up at him and saw his calm face.

"It's okay, Don't hold in." He spoke in a soft tone as he rubbed her back soothingly.

Ina couldn't stop herself and started to sob. She didn't know why she was crying but she just couldn't stop crying. Maybe it was the pregnancy hormones.

Damien shocked his head hopelessly, Ina had turned into a crybaby since she became pregnant, But he doesn't mind it, He will gladly accept everything she says and does.

He picked her up and walked them to the bathroom to clean themselves, After the shower, Ina eats the small meal that Damien prepared for her and slept and while she was sleeping Damien cleaned the living room making sure to make it spotless so that when she wakes up she doesn't feel bad about dirtying the room.

He then washed the dishes and after that, he joined her in the bed, Ina opened her eyes to look at him and snuggled close to him.

"Thank you." Ina mumbled softly.

"Shh, Go back to sleep." He whispered in her ear as his hand went to her small bump rubbing it gently feeling it.

"The three of you trembled your mother, You better make it out for her when coming back." Damien whispered to his unborn babies scolding them softly.

Ina's heart skipped a beat, It was the first he did that.

Damien pressed his lips on the crown of her head in a lingering kiss as he wrapped his arms around her.

Ina wondered what kind of father Damien will be once the babies arrive, Is he is going to be the strike father or easy-going father.

She could imagine him already changing diapers and warming the milk. It was a perfect image, Ina smiled to herself as enjoined the warmth of Damien embrace.

In a moment like this, she finds herself not worrying about anything and just thinks about the happy future that is going to share.

...

The next day, Ina and Damien had a visit to a doctor clinic. Every week she is scheduled for two visits because her condition needs more attention than a normal pregnant woman.

After taking her blood pressure, The doctor started to write down some notes before he turned his attention back to her.

"Your blood pressure is slightly high, It's normal for triplets but we need to make sure that it goes lower, not higher." The doctor said.

Ina was shocked to hear that, She turned to look at Damien and looked calm as always.

"Is there anything we can do to reduce it?" Damien asked the doctor as he placed his hand above Ina's hand telling him that everything will be alright.

"Yes, She can be more physically active, I know that it's hard but walking for thirty minutes or swimming every day would help benefit her health during pregnancy and labour." The doctor explained.

Damien turned to look at Ina with a smile on his face and said.

"This is easy, I'm sure Ina won't mind it." Damien said.
